Toothless Fairy

Toothless Fairy (19/67)

  1. I don't have fibromyalgia, but I struggle a lot with fatigue. I'm going to have to try out the CoQ10 and the LFN!
  2. I am a huge fan of Sensual Harmony. It’s in my top 10 and is a mainstay in my business trip kit. It’s elegant, versatile, the LFM is a confidence booster, and I love the vanilla and ylang ylang combo! 🥰 However, sometimes I have to watch out for the “intimidation factor.” Usually not an issue because I mostly work with people more senior to me, but today I was meeting a more junior associate. I held my hand out to shake hands and he just froze! One of the other guys commented later that he thought the poor guy was scared of me. I am not a scary person at all by appearance, haha. The good news is that he did eventually feel comfortable enough to shake my hand after dinner. 😊
  3. Welcome! I think Girl/girl was a good one for that. I don’t know if it’s still around, but if not, you could probably get some in trade threads. (The Trading Post). Some links you might be interested in:
  4. Yay, I’m glad it was helpful! The extras are great for actual muffins, too. 😊
  5. There’s also silicone cupcake inserts if you want to use something that’s reusable!
  6. Got this in the sale. This is light and delicate, but very, very good. I get a whiff of a similar cherry to that in Special Delivery at first, until the other notes come out. The cherry is the star but is made fresher and tarter with the red currant, cassis, and verbena. The musk and amber set it off perfectly, giving it a bit more mystery and sophistication. It wears close to the skin (on me, and after aging for over a decade, anyway) but that's fine since it is extremely huffable, haha.
  7. These look gorgeous! Alas, a home emergency kind of killed my budget, but once I take care of that I hope I can snag some of these in the future!
  8. Got this in the sale. Right now all I can say is: OMG this is like Cacao Amor! Not the same, but it has that same feeling. Aja can be temperamental on me, but it's just sweet honeyed goodness here. Perfect nighttime scent!
  9. So it won't let me edit during the sale, but I forgot to add that this is stronger and longer lasting than Gogo, which is more of a lighter summer scent. A little goes a long way! On a scale of 1=fruity scents (which always fade fast on me) to 10=La Sylphide (which I can only do a couple of dots of before everyone is commenting on it), it's like a 8. Whereas Gogo is more like a 4.
  10. @Mila I'm comparing Gogo and Liebchen side by side right now. My Liebchen has been resting for a little under 48 hrs, so there might be some slight travel shock. Vika was right on when she said that Liebchen was more like Warm and Cozy, which I would say is the closest comparison I've smelled. I would consider Liebchen a "deeper", slightly more camphorous (but not in a sharp or bad way) lavender. A more lavendery lavender than Gogo, which really amped up the creme-brulee and almost chocolatey notes and doesn't feel as "lavendery." As it blooms, the vanilla comes out and it becomes that nice smooth lavender/vanila/amber that LPMP is so good at. The vanilla in here is also deeper and stronger than in Gogo, where the cream felt more like a creme patisserie than deep, rich, vanilla. Gogo also has a silky, light, and almost "cool" evocation to me (maybe from some kind of musk?), which I don't get in Liebchen, which is darker, deeper, and richer. It starts out feeling like a winter scent, very rich and strong lavender/vanilla/amber, but then lightens up while keeping that essence. I'd say they're pretty different. So if you like lavenders, you need both!
  11. I was so worried because my tracking info wasn't updated once it got to my post office. But it is now safely in my possession (yay!) and I now smell like 5 different scents, haha.
  12. @Mila I think one of the sugar notes used in these is kind of creamy or buttery. I got the same vibe in my Sugared Cucumber, which was unexpected but surprisingly good. I've never smelled a sweet buttery cucumber but now I'm all about it, haha.
  13. There's still one left! It's not too late! 😊 I picked up Tortuga last year and I can attest to its specialness. It really is like being transported to the beach.
  14. @RosesArePink Interesting theory! I haven't had any noticeably terrible reactions to EST heavy blends, but I have noticed that "family men" react really well to EST. You know the kind of guy who's always talking about his wife and kids and all their milestones and trips and it's super sweet? Or the ones that might be more aggressive at work but are really gentle and protective with their kids. I feel like that kind of guy is extra nice and cheerful with EST.
  15. Mine shipped out Monday and I paid my invoice last Friday. So yours should be coming soon! Now I keep checking the USPS tracking, haha.
